i picked up a vitara that is ment to have a blown head gasket. my question is do they blow gaskets much, warp the heads or should i be looking for a crack in the head and where? |

Take off the rocker cover and there are some welch plugs under the rocker shaft (3 if I remember correctly). They crack between those welch plugs. |

just depends on how quick the postie is if its cracked. swapping heads won't take long. |

Bare head was $550... It's hard to see but there are cracks around the little welsch plug. 
This was the 2nd head and the crack is a little more obvious.

well i finally got the head off this arvo and its cracked so i'm about to see where i can find a new head from. on a side note the suzuki engineers must hate the mechanics or they are kids with small hands! that was the hardest head i have had to pull off. |
